The unit specialises in Basic Rescue, Rope Access, High Angle Rescue, First Aid, Fire Fighting and Diving. It is entirely manned by unpaid volunteers and its main scope is to provide a group of highly trained rescuers to assist the constituted authorities in national emergencies or when otherwise requested to.

The Unit is proud of the work it is doing, hence the motto "Taking pride in helping others"
